seesme”.It was the same when my cousin commented on my new furniture and Japanese,fine-bone-china bowls andasked where I got them.They were from the local op shop but instead I said“from the antique shop”.Many people in my Greek-Cypriot community would look down on me if I said I shopped at the op shop.Theymay pity me,consider me poor,a failure.Immigrants sacrificed their families and homes for a better life.Buying ahouse and having enough money to live comfortably,to educate your children and see them also live comfortably,are a big part of the immigrant dream,But has this dream made us materialistic at the cost of our own planet?Our love for purchasing the latest trendy clothes or furniture,then donating them when we are tired of themhas become normal.I was once like this.But after watching the documentaryThe True CostI learned donatedclothes that dont get sold are sent to developing nations,many of them ending up in landfills(垃圾填埋地).Inaddition,your new dress requires electricity and materials to make.But if you buy a second-hand dress,thats oneless dress in a landfill and one less new dress to be made.A friend introduced me to op shopping only a few years ago.My firstitem was a dress she gifted me.It waslovely and I loved it.Nobody could tell it was second-hand.This opened me up to purchasing more second-handhigh quality branded clothes.Once I visited a friend and was impressed by how she decorated her apartment.“Itsall second-hand,”she said.I couldnt believe it.The truth is a lot of things sold at the op shop are in new or almostnew condition.Thats when I made the decision to only buy second-hand things.Selling second-hand things isnt anything new butwhat the planet needs is more buyers.There is so muchexcess(过量)production in the world.So stop feeling ashamed,and lets get shopping.4.What kind of feeling is expressed in Paragraph 1?A.Pride.B.Embarrassment.C.Delight.D.Sympathy.5.Whatare many people in the authors community like?A.They are probably materialistic.B.They care about the environment.C.They think highly of op shopping.D.They look down upon immigrants.6.What was the author encouraged to do after visiting her friends

persuade.D.To describe.CBeing a teacher is a rewarding career when it comes to changing lives,but its obviously one that comes withplenty of stresses and difficulties too.Seeking help for a child who is so obviously in need isnt easy.Often,you feel ignored by the government.Youfeel upset that there isnt anything you could personally do to help a needy and sensitive member of your class.Thats exactly how Chelsea Haley,aged 24 at the time,felt when she met fourth-grade student JeromeRobinson while working for Teach forAmericainLouisianafor the first time.The pair didnt get off to the best start,with Jerome,the“problem child”,almost drivingChelseafromteaching.But whenChelseaput her foot down and became determined to work more closely with Jerome,shelearned the cause of his rude behavior:a bad home situation.Chelseawas eager to help Jerome,and realized thathe needed more than just academic support.By 2016,a year after meeting him,Chelsea had adopted(收养)Jerome and his brother Jace.Adopting a child doesnt come cheap,andChelseaspent all the money in her bank to see the process through.In her first few years of raising the boys,she lived on credit cards and postponed her student loan.AsChelsealived with her two adopted sons,she worked hard to repay her debts.She took on extra tutoringjobs outside of school hours,moved in with her parents,and even delivered groceries for cash.Along the way,shewas learning how to be the best mom to Jerome and Jace,cooking for them and cheering them on at footballmatches.And now,just five years later,Chelseacan proudly say that she has paid off nearly$50,000 of debt.Now thatshes finally out of debt,Chelseahas plans to buy a house and save up for the boys college education.“It allows me to focus on the boys future,”she said.“Saving money for them,and not spending it on mypast.”8.What do we know from paragraph 4?A.Jeromes family was less fortunate.B.The brothers were in the same class.C.When helping

and ambitious.C.Selfless and determined.D.Warmhearted and strict.DSleep problems in early childhood may be linked to the development of certain mental health disorders inadolescence,according to a new research.A study of 7,155 children in theUnited Kingdomfound that waking up frequently during the night andirregular sleep routines as babies and toddlers was linked to psychotic experiences in children aged 12 and 13.Also,children who slept for shorter periods at night were more likely to be associated with borderline personalitydisorder at ages 11 and 12.The research,published in the journalJAMA Psychiatry,was the first time possible links between earlychildhood sleep problems and adolescent psychotic experiences and borderline personality disorder(BPD)symptoms have been examined.“We know from previous research that persistent nightmares in children have been associated with bothpsychosis and borderline personality disorder,”said lead author Isabel at theInstituteofMental HealthattheUniversityofBirmingham.“But nightmares dont tell the whole story.Weve found that,in fact,a number of behavioral sleep problemsin childhood can point towards these problems in adolescence,”she said.Adolescence,typically defined as the ages between 10 and 19,is a key period in human developmentbecause of brain and hormonal changes,anditis now thought to be when many mental health problems start.Prior research inAustraliafound that babies with persistent severe sleep problems in their first year were atgreater risk for anxiety and emotional issues in later childhood.Sleep problems in children and adolescents havebeen shown to predict the development of various emotional and behavioral problems,including depression,anxiety,attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder,risk-taking and aggression.However,findings have beeninconsistent,especially when based on objective measurements of sleep,rather than parental reports.Sleep and mental health are closely connected in adults,with sleep problems increasing the risk fordeveloping particular mental illnesses as well as resulting in mental health issues.12.What can we know from paragraph 3?A.Childhood sleep problems probably cause youth mental health problems.B.Severe sleep problems in childhood lead to emotional issues.C.Persistent nightmares in children are closely related to psychosis.D.The research has not been known to the public.13.What does“it”refer to in paragraph 6?A.Adolescence.B.Key period.C.Human developmentD.Hormonalchange.14.According to the Australian research,older children who had long-term serious sleep issues at one year old aremore likely to _.A.grow slowlyB.develop attention-deficit hyperactivity disorderC.do badly in lessonsD.suffer from anxiety15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.A Study About Childhood Sleep Problems Is Under ProgressB.Pay Attention to Children Who Lack SleepC.Childhood Sleep Issues Linked to Adolescent Mental Health ProblemsD.How to Help Children Develop a Good Sleep Habit第二节（共第二节（共 5 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 2 分，满分分，满分 1 10 0 分）分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项What will you eat for lunch today?In some
